MH-402 Various Artists - Ten Years Of Mush RecordsCelebrate Ten Years Of Mush Records with a continuous DJ selection (split into two forty minute mixes) fractured, transformed and reconstructed by Thavius Beck. Mix One is the disaffected hopeless romantic of the two; the folk-glitch, post-rock, shoegaze, dream-pop older brother. Mix Two is the kid at the party who can always be counted on to jump into the pool from the roof. All hip-hop and electro power packs, this little brother will have a lot to confess come Sunday. Thavius wears his skills on his sleeve throughout, letting Mix One breathe like a sleepy tiger and giving Mix Two the live treatment like he's DJing to save the planet.

For those of us who have watched in admiration over the years as Mush Records has released a variety of music both on the beat side and the indie / dream side, this release is for us. If you've never really indulged in the Mush experience before, this is a great place to start.

Mixed by the fantavius Thavius Beck, the compilation is divided into two (seriously) long tracks: the first represents the folk-glitch, post-rock, shoegaze, dream-pop side of Mush (43:51 minutes). The second track is beat-heavy and glitched: the hip-hop and electro face of the label (38:49 minutes). All together it plays like a dream soundtrack (first track) and lifestyle soundtrack for your boomin' system as you roll around downtown (second track). - Spacelab
